Morning Jolt: Nuggets not done yet?

George Karl has a new cast of characters, a cast that may still not be set. [For Carmelo Antony, the] Nuggets get forwards Wilson Chandler and Danilo Gallinari, point guard Raymond Felton, center Timofey Mozgov, the Knicks' 2014 first-round draft pick and two picks New York owns from the Golden State Warriors, a 2012 second-rounder and a 2013 second-rounder, in addition to $3 million in cash, according to a source. It's an impressive corral of assets for [Josh] Kroenke and [Masai] Ujiri, both in their first year in their roles.

I'm looking forward to the opportunity to lead this team and try to win games. I don't feel like it's even close from last year to where I am now. In fact, it's not even close to where I am now from the end of last season. I'm much more prepared." (Florida Times-Union)Comment
